Monday morning waves

Hello Friends,

Chilly tinge to the air at 0730 but wide blue skies overhead and 2 metres of 10-sec SSE swell rolling in for the first shift. Sets at Dee Why point were around the chest mark and similar, if not a bit bigger along the beach. Wind was a 10kt westerly and tide dropping to the low at 1030 for the healthy crew at Dee Why when I checked for the first time.

The Bureau says the swell will continue along at the present intensity and that the wind’ll swing SW and come up to 15-20 kts before dropping back and swinging more southerly later.

More thoughts later on the long range outlook (and a few piccies I hope)

A low pressure system near New Zealand is moving southeast and weakening as a strong high pressure system south of the Bight strengthens a ridge across the western Tasman Sea and vigorous southerly winds along New South Wales coast are easing. This ridge is expected be the dominant synoptic feature over the following few days.
